Subject: What is the point? |
Bible Note: Greetings charis. I have made many visits to Japan although not in recent years. As an Arminian believer... I too believe the concept of being "snatched away from God" is not taught in the Scripture. Yes I do know Arminian thinkers who would say differently but then that has never been an issue for our discussions. I am simply trying to work through a very well presented system of thinking in the Pre Wrath position. I really do disagree that a good Christian has nothing to worry about if that position is true since the challenges at that time will be far greater than most modern day believers are being taught and expecting. True... I meant "centralist" as a compliment when applied to modern thinking but being a centralist with Jesus is a bit of a stretch for me. I think He is looking for some very serious people to complete the task he left for us (and I sincerely assume you are one of those people). That is why I remarked that most of what I read on internet groups has to do with verses and/or concepts that really don't impact the lives of those that are perishing. I am really concerned about that with all there is to be done in world evangelism. I appreciate your comments about persecution and the positive impact that has on the church. You are correct. I believe that can even be enhanced however if we are expecting it and possibly even developing a strategy to take advantage of it with our current theology. Blessings to you charis... it is my turn to go to church. Good morning and good night. |
